Daily NCAA Compliance Tips from Jen Condaras

Is it permissible for coaches to attend NCAA tournament games if they will be playing one of the teams in the spring?

Yes. NCAA Bylaw 11.6.1.2 states that an institution’s coaching staff may attend a contest in the institution’s conference championship or an NCAA championship contest in which a future opponent participates (e.g., an opponent on the institution’s spring nonchampionship-segment schedule participates in a fall conference or NCAA championship).
